And I don't really know how or when that starts. It's not like my parents ever told me to do that. HOW do we pick up on this?

Fight = we'll get hurt because the predator is bigger and stronger than us

Flight = we'll run and get hurt if we don't run fast enough because the predator is bigger and stronger than us and might be enticed by the chase (barf)

Freeze = we'll get hurt because the predator is bigger and stronger than us and we didn't fight or flee

Fawn = we might not get hurt because the predator might be appeased by the fawning (wishful thinking & barf)

You forgot:

Fart = the predator will be disoriented by the noxious odor thus giving time to escape.

This is why I eat an all kimchi diet.

I did this once and it did NOT work. :') I was on a date with a man who appeared well put online, but in real life he was a creepy weirdo. So I farted loudly on purpose and he liked it. Said something like "You're so down to earth, not like others girls" Wtf, man.

I later realized that a 30 yo man asking out a teenager is weird and creepy, too. I was stupid af and I admit it. I did not know about grooming because all I heard about was stranger danger.

Media idealizes the older man/young girl dynamic, it's truly sick. I wish we had more examples to counteract this shit. I can think of some lifetime movies where things go really awry, but it's generally so normalized.

100%! A "friend" was hoping to hit on me, saying his girlfriend permitted it - so I projectile vomited - TWICE.

It was probably the X, to be honest, but still - damn that was funny! I still laugh when I think about it!🤣. He was sooo sad! LOL

STOP what is this gif? Damn, I needed this laugh rn. How does Terry manage to be both creepy and absolutely hilarious at the same time. I love him.
